Re: [ECOLOG-L] Nonprofit publishers of ecology related journals
Hey James et al. - This site might help you - http://www.eigenfactor.org/openaccess/ Although it shows a positive correlation between article influence and publication costs, there are many open-access journals with good influence that have no or low publication costs.

I would like that one. Even if you have access to pay-walled papers, simple impact factor is not the only consideration if you don't have much funding to cover page costs. Some knowledge of the costs to researchers and others who would like to read you work is a consideration, but choosing a journal can be daunting. Another thought is the business model and longevity of open access journals. It will not help to publish but not accessible a few years or even months later, neither on library shelves nor a server farm.
